I wouldn't ever recommend buying a spa without dealer support and/or without seeing and being able to wet test the spa first. In regards to Thermospa, there sales tactics are poor and there warranty is heavily pro-rated and has alot of holes in it that will end up costing you alot of money. I would recommend you check out HotSpring, Tiger River, Caldera, Sundance, D1 and Marquis, in your area. I always recommend seeing the "Full" warranty upfront before you buy. Good luck!
